BLOGGiNG

As for writing blogs, this is my first time writing (or in this case typing) a blog. Laying out my thoughts and feelings or my daily adventures has been always quite difficult for me. Don't get me wrong, there was a point in which I loved writing down everything that happened to me on a daily basis. I always had the idea that when I get older that I will forget my childhood memories and won't be able to recall them later on in life, so I kept a diary. My diaries were my friends, they would keep secrets that I told them and I know that they would never tell a soul and they would listen to what I have to say about how I felt about certain things and ideas and never judge me. Well, it turns out one day I came home from school early and I went straight to my room only to find my grandmother sitting on my bed and openly reading my diary. I felt crushed and exposed. I couldn't understand why she would be so nosy when she always scolded me for being curious about anything and tell me to mind my own business. So it made me wonder did she read my other diaries??? She didn't see me, so I just went to the kitchen and started making noise, so I assume that she was startled and came in the kitchen. The first thing I did was get all my diaries and rip out the pages and tear them to shreds. Ever since then I have always been hesitant to write my feelings down on paper, I've always tried to keep a diary again but it never proved to be successful.... and while writing this blog, I've noticed that I have been able to truly express how I feel about why I stopped writing. I can change the settings and put it so that no one else can read them only me. Just like keeping a diary. Probably being forced to write a blog for this class, may prove to be beneficial to me, not just academically but personally.
